Applicable MSVPP commands

The table below lists the MSVPP commands that you may need to configure and control a
multi-player system. With the exception of

TCStart

, which can only be an MSVPP command

(see the first NOTE, below), all of these commands can be also be accomplished using
the HTML pages, as shown in the “

Configuring LTC for Synchronized Multi-player

Operation

“and “

Configuring Genlock for Synchronized Multi-player Operation

examples on the pages that follow.

NOTE: When you have loaded a playlist with defined timecode parameters and you

then click the Play control ( ) to start the show, it has the same affect as issuing
the

TCStart

command.

The commands sent to each player are the same, whether the show control computer is
connected to Remote port 1 or either LAN port.

NOTE: Click the

blue

links below to see the full command description in the

“Programming Guide“ section, including the complete command syntax,
variables, responses, and some examples.
